is in a dirty private room in some random dilapidated building somewhere in the Slums of the Red Urt Pier District.
says to ALL: I began to pace… Hearing the dirty wooden planks beneath me all but cry out in protest of my presence… Arms folded over my chest while one singular index finger began to tap out my irritation… ProCo had sent me here.. And for what seemed like an infinite span of time... I have waited… I was over it and with a sigh of great displeasure I began to make my way towards the door.. Yet in midstride… I paused… My head canted as I heard voices on the other side… Whispered tones of argument and articulated was the brow as it gave rise.. Intrigued… Was they coming in? What was I waiting for? I hadn’t a clue one but I did stand behind the door for caution.. I would certainly wait to see who may enter before revealing my presence…
I could feel the very breath of me knot up within the depths of that ivory caging.. Expanding the casing of life as I waited.. The door.. Almost as if it was in slow motion began to open… I could feel the very blood in my cheeks.. Drain… As I took note of the figure entering… I shook my head in disbelief as I pressed my fingers against the quiver of berry tinged tiers… Quickly I stepped from behind the door as ProCo shut the door upon his entry… But it was not he who had led me to the state of shock I was now feeling… Oceanic hues peered over towards Vargas as the very words seemed to shake from the core of me in the spilling..
”Father? Is it you?”
I questioned him as if I was seeing some sort of a mirage… I could feel this surge of anger welting up within me as if threating to blow as I stepped closer to him.. My right hand lifted as if to offer a repulsive slap and yet dainty fingers merely coiled into a white knuckle hold as I stepped back once more…
”Or shall I call you Vargas?”
Yes.. Yes… My contempt and disdain struck out like a vipers strike… I would, indeed, have him know that I knew he was not blood of my blood… I almost felt like laughing as I watched his features form into something that resembled pain… I had hurt him and yet. not more than his lies had hurt me… How long could one woman go… Calling a man father who was truly never just… So many lies I had been fed and I ate from that hand of deceit for the entirety of my life… I stepped back for the sheer courtesy of not right out slicing his throat…

says to ALL: I watched him in disbelief as He put his hands up as if trying to somehow calm me and I stepped forth.. Out of anger then in my frustration I quickly stepped back once more.. Torn.. Lost.. Devastated… I thought VAAN had killed him Already… Now, now, Xai… Let’s not be hasty… Hear me out… There is much you think you know but all is but a tissues of lies… Let me dispel them..”
Almost angered I glanced back to ProCo.. Who had incidentally taken a set and made himself quite comfortable… I was confused… This was VAAN’s man… I had known him to be nothing but loyal but then why was he now.. In this very room.. Listening to a man calling him a liar? It just made no since to me… I took a seat myself… Almost crouched over my thighs as I poured my face into my palms and merely shook… How much more could I handle before utterly snapping?
It was then that I heard his weight shift in his stance.. I continued to burry my face as I felt him reaching out… Fingers to the back of my hands. His too trembled… I felt a familiarity… Love… As only a Father could give.. That was the first time I felt the truth… regardless of my bloodline… He was in fact. My Father… I peered out at him.. Feeling the kiss of damp lofty lashes as they flickered.. Oceanic hues peering into this mans eyes as I had done so many times before. his voice was calm.. Soothing… ”My girl.. I come baring truths… The only truth you know right now is that, in fact, ArAin is your birth father… It’s time you knew the rest…”
Try had as I might to speak I protest.. I was speechless… I would have to hear him out.. I owed him… That much.. I felt almost childlike as he took my hands into his.. restoring the softness of beauty to light once more… Despite the tear in my eye and the confusion I was feeling… I was still yet happy that he was alive….
”what could you tell me now that has not already been spilled?”
The question seemed to wavier into the air before he finally began to speak… “Xai.. No… Ekko.. Your father was perhaps a legend in his own time… He had many a friends but he had even more foes… It was for this reason that Your father had set a plan for your safety should he fall.. All great men… Fall.. Eventually… He loved you that much that he made me promise that I would take you and raise you as my own.. Should the time rise.. That day did surely come… There was a disturbance within his ranks.. A true struggle for power… I cannot say… who…. actually killed him.. I only know that I would be true to my word to him and protect you till the right time come…
I looked at him in a state of shock.. I was there… And yet… My mind was words away… racing between the truth and the lies as if disheveling and sorting to keep them straight…

says to ALL: I sat there in silence… Peering into the eyes of my father as if no time had passed at all between us.. Comforted.. believing.. Every woman on the surface seemed to be what she was and yet somewhere inside her.. Oh so still.. Ever longing… She needed her father.. This man. Was just the epitome of that… I could have known of any more of an honorable man than He.. I needed this reminder… This closeness.. And for the first time in a long time… I knew what trust felt like once more… He would do me no wrong… He would tell me no lies…
”I… I don’t understand any of this…”
My words seemingly stammering from my lips and I collided into the brush of his fingers to my cheek as he pushed back the errant tendrils that seemed to paint upon them…
“shhhhhhh, My girl… Now is the time for listening…”
And listened well I did as he began to tell me the secrets of the past… Long ago Ar Ain had a guild that ran on a rampage within Port Kar… They was utterly fearless and yet feared well by those who would be caught within their webbing of treachery… The guild was called Deviant Shades… The stories about his glory days with Ar Ain, blood of my blood yet far removed, seemed to terrify me and yet somehow amuse me..
I glanced over towards ProCo, still yet, insure about his presence… Why had he not put a stop to this… Surely he would return to VAAN and tell him everything… and yet… There he was.. Little more than a gnat planted there in silence… Once more my gaze returned upon Vargas as I felt his hand guiding me into the snare of his gaze…
“Ekko… Deviant Shades is your.. Birthright.. I have protected you long enough… It’s time you take a stand and reclaim that whish if your bloodline to take over…”
It was then that I jumped up from the seat while nearly toppling him over as I shouted..
”Have you gone mad?”

says to ALL: As he gave rise.. I could hear the anger in his voice.. I could feel the rage surging through his veins… I had not considered that he had.. lost a friend… I was detached for Ar Air was just a story told to me like one would tell the children around a camp… I was appalled…. he was angry and it was his voice… calm… and yet quite alarming that had pulled me back to the here and now…
“It is your namesake.. It is your destiny to avenge him… Avenge him!”
I never will forget that gasp that suddenly spilled as He stepped up to me… With such demand in his gaze… I had never seen him like this.. not with me… I could feel the chill merely sweep down the exquisite shelling of spine as if forcing the cultivation of toned form to shift in awareness…
“VANN is lying to you… He is using you for his greater gain.. He has sought you out since the day I took you and now you should know.. I believe he is the one who killed Ar Ain… It is your job to right the wrongs.. It is you place to take that which has been taken from you… Be the woman I raised you to be! “
I watched as he pointed to ProCo.. Almost forcing me to face some form of truth…
”That man is your solider… His men, too, are yours.. They are ready to return to the days of old… Utilize them.. Avenge your blood!”
It was then that I noted ProCo nodding at me as if offering me silent conformation and yet I was so overwhelmed I could hear or see nothing as I began to run for the door… Vanishing into the streets to find solace away from the turbulent madness that haunted the dark recesses of my mind… Memory would offer me no resistance… of this day…
